A hydrophobic two-part polyurethane, expanding foam designed to rapidly provide intermediate backfill for setting utility poles. It forms a high-density, high-strength foam that can structurally support the pole, and maintain its upright positions. Hardware may be strung after 15 minutes. Serves as a barrier impending the migration of preservation materials into the surrounding soil and ground water. Displays excellent adhesion to wood and manufactured poles and does not require the use of primers. Two-year shelf life.

Pole Setting Foam (#79701) can be used not only for setting poles, but is also designed for moisture barrier protection in handholes with large amounts of water present.
Expanding foam for use in setting poles or for building a moisture barrier in the cable entry section of a cross connect cabinet. 2 kits per case.
Also reference: #79698 Cardboard template for Moisture Barrier Kit used with expanding foam (#79701 Pole Setting Foam) for building moisture barrier in the cable entry section of a cross connect cabinet. Place template in handhole opening and pour foam. Instructions for installing the Moisture Barrier Kit available as a PDF download under the "Documentation" header.

POLE SETTING FOAM is a hydrophobic two-part polyurethane foam that expands to fill the peripheral void between a utility pole and the hole. It forms a high-density, high-strength foam that can structurally support the pole and maintain its upright positioning. POLE SETTING FOAM also serves as a redundant environmental barrier between the pole material and its surroundings.

POLE SETTING FOAM displays excellent adhesion to most pole materials, including wood poles treated with pentachlorophenol, CCA, ACA, etc. and without the use of primers. After mixing, it foams immediately and reaches 50% of full strength in approximately 3 minutes and 80% within 60 minutes. Once poured, the POLE SETTING FOAM expands approximately 15 times its original volume and sets the pole in 3 minutes creating a proven solid foundation material. It removes the need to backfill by traditional methods and the "tamping" associated with it.

POLE SETTING FOAM significantly reduces labor requirements as no backfilling is required and hardware can be strung after 15 minutes.

Because POLE SETTING FOAM is hydrophobic, its physical properties will not be affected by wet soil or small amount of standing water in the hole; however, we recommend the standing water does not exceed 2 inches with the structure in the hole.

Features & Benefits

Superior to stone in resistance to overturning and equal to crushed stone against uplift

Eliminates the need to transport heavy rock and stone backfill

Hardens quickly (10 - 15 minutes) with compressive strengths three to four times that of tamped soil

Poles are set faster, thus restoring service to the customer quicker and with added strength

KNUCKLES Hand Cleaning Towels are specially formulated to dissolve and absorb dirty contaminants from hands, tools, and equipment. The towels are textured on one side allowing the user to scrub embedded, tough-to-clean contaminants such as cable filling compounds, icky PIC, c-cement, tar, asphalt, heavy greases, etc. The other side is smooth which works to trap and absorb the cleaner and dirty contaminants back into the towel, leaving hands, tools, and equipment surfaces clean. Tested safe on rubber goods.
